MRS. ROMERO’S RETIREMENT PARTY IN HER PARENTS’ BACKYARD
In 2015 the County of Alameda, Oakland, California commissioned a painting for a family waiting room in the new addition to Highland Hospital in Oakland. The curators asked that the image be about a joyful event with people of all ages, cultural backgrounds, and ethnicities in order to reflect what can be seen in Oakland’s communities. Also requested was the flora and fauna of Oakland home gardens.
